For the purpose of speed, as i'm a little pressed for time at the moment i'm gunna call the tractor beam the TBE(Tractor Beam Emmiter)
To script the TBE into the game, activiate the script editor. To do this go into player name and replace the player name with:

Enter trade commands and the fourth script line down is:
<RetVar/If><RefObj>install<Var/Number>units of <ware>
Select this.
For script input select <no return value>
For the first <?> press enter and under constants select: THIS
For the second <?> press enter and under Script input select: <Number> and enter 1.
For the third <?> press enter and under script input select: select ware. Scroll down the list of ware till you find Tractor Beam and select this.
Thats it! your script is done. Press escape and save changes.
Now to run your script, highlight it and press the R key to run the script. When it comes up with Script input select: Select ship or station. Select the ship you wish to install the TBE in and thats it. You now have a TBE.
Remember the TBE can only be installed in M6's and TL's.
The only objects that you can move are your own stations. Trust me when i say it's a bad idea to try to move the shipyard in argon prime. The TBE works like a weapon firing, so the AI thinks that you are firing a weapon at them.
The TBE can't move complexes, or any station attached to a complex.
I wasn't able to find a station that sold the TBE, so i had to script it in, although i think that the best station to sell the TBE is the terracorp HQ (coughhintcough).
To use the TBE, you have to be within about 2.5km of the station you are targeting. when you fire the TBE, it will latch onto the part of the station that you fired it at. You do not need to keep firing at at station to get it to hold on. You can turn your ship in any direction once the TBE is on the station.
Now to move the station you need to slowly move away, or towards the station at about 20m/s or less, any faster and the TBE will lose it's lock. The maximum distance you can move from the sation with the TBE on is about 500m. You have to wait for the station to catch up before proceeding. If you fire the TBE at 2.4Km from the station and move away from the station to 2.9km away, the station will slowly catch up till it is at the original distance from you from when you fired the TBE (2.4km).
If you latch the TBE onto a part of the station that is not the closest poin to you, then the station will rotate untill it is. Basically if you latch onto the east side of a station and head west, the station will rotate west and then follow you.
Now the stations move very slowly, about 1m/s, so when moving a station, SETA is your friend.
When i first used the TBE, i used it to ram my Cattle Ranch in home of light into the Argon Trading Station, which then distroyed my Cattle Ranch. So the TBE can be used as an expensive means to eliminate the competition without taking a rep hit.
Hope this helps everyone
P.S I'm not sure which forum this belongs in as ot has a bit from tech, a bit from scripting and a bit from x in it. Feel free to move it.
face when he sees an XL SPP coming through. "Boron say's its not that easy", too true mate, too true.
